    It also has a lot to do with american-produced food not meeting European food safety standards.

    If you’ve never heard of chicken chlorine bath “poop soup” then I suggest you read a little more. And that’s not the worst of it.

      Those food safety standards aren’t what you think they are, spud.

      I’m more familiar with chlorine washed chicken than you are, kiddo. Even the EU’s own research shows that it’s fine.

      Since you’re not in contact with facts, here’s another one for you. The US ranks third in the world for food quality and safety.

        Damn, you can’t seem to get a sentence out without ending it with condescending name-calling. I can only assume you’re compensating for your lack of a solid argument.

        Chlorinated chicken isn’t the only thing wrong with US food, and also it’s not just the chlorinated baths that are bad but the standard practices and neglect that those chlorine baths permit.

        But if the EU truly thought US food production was fine, then it wouldn’t ban their imports based on inadequate safety standards.

        Also, if you’re so in touch with “the facts,” then would you mind sharing a source for that little statistic about third-place? According to whom? Who conducted the study?
